Anyone watching the world cup soccer coverage on SABC1 will notice two things immediately. Firstly, the score isn’t shown somewhere on the screen all the time, making it very difficult to flip in an out of a game. Secondly, and this is the point of my headline, the editing and camerawork seems about as drab as playing Pro Evolution Soccer on my PS2. So much so, in fact, that I tried a little experiment with my new invisible wireless controller and actually scored a goal for Mexico.
